Cole was in my class in 5th grade. I can remember his humor and sweet spirit...and mostly, his big, beautiful smile. It will forever be etched in my mind. There are no words to say.. except you are all being lifted to He who carries us through during times of deep sorrow and pain. Please know that I feel privileged to have known and taught Cole.
